remarks are taken as virtual admission
that Secretary Lamar is the coming man.

about for the Supreme bench vacancy.

finally joined into one, and, reaching
the point of junction at the same time

The Freedman's Savings Bank.

The Intsr- Ocean gives the following
history of the Freedman Savings Bank:
The I. edman's | ank was proposed as
q nurely Charitable enterprise to encour-
ACE frurality and thrift among the newly
liberated backs. Mr.. Summer reported

1876 and on tn I'd Of March, following,
II became a law. The bank was estab

TO the number of thirty four were after

Union. The institution was authorized
to receive the deposits of negroes, and
invest the same in the stocks, bonds,
Treasury notes, or other securities of the
United States. 1t was not intended to
be a money making conce.n, either for
bankers or depositOrs, but to provide for
the safc-keeping of the freedman's
savings. The government did not
guarantee the safety o. the bank
though the negroes were geneT-
ally made to believe that it had
done so-nor did it take the proper pre-
cautions to secure honest management.
As A conse 3ucnce, a number of the
trustees, who were also imp icated in
many other financial irregularities, were
enabled to take complete control Of the
bank, and m mage it to suit their own
interests. Turing the nine years OF the

$50. 900. 600 of deposits. Then it sus-
pended payment, and a committee of
Congress was appointed to investigate
matters. 1t found that the bank had
been scandaously mismanaged, its char
ter regulations ignored, a q its funds
dissipated BY loaning on inadequate Sc

bank were confined 10 government Sc

at the branch banks also produced many
losses. The unsecured debts owed by
the bank to depositors July Il, 1874,
amounted to s2,900,OOO. The assets,
which realized more than was expected,
yielded nearly $1,7GO,O OO. DIVIDENDS
have been paid at various times, but
many small depositors, through ignor-
ance and despair, forfeited their divi-
dends by rot calling for them. In all
1900 dividends, amounting to l., $50,
we're thus forfeited. The cost of wind

some years three bank commissioners
were employed at a salary OF 81, 600
each. But in February, 1881, the affairs
of the bank were all turned over to the
Comptroller of the currency, at great
saving of expenses.
